U.S. Association for The Club of Rome. Membership List. 1983-10-25
The Club of Rome was founded in 1968 at a meeting of 30 scientists,
educators, economists, humanists, industrialists, and international and
national civil servants. It was incorporated in Geneva as a nonprofit, and
at last sighting (1988) had its headquarters at 68 rue Pierre Charron,
F-75008 Paris (Bertrand Schneider, Secretary-General). COR has affiliates
in some 20 countries. The U.S. Association once had an office in Washington
but might be fading; these days the best bet for tracking it down is through
Anitra Thorhaug in Miami. Our list of 1983 members is missing a sheet (the
names between Schneider and Waterlow), which still leaves 180 names with
their address, phone number, and usually a title.
If you are influential (or rich) and have a conscience (or feel guilty)
over what COR calls the "world problematique," you might belong on this list.
In 1972 COR published "Limits to Growth," which projected the extinction of
vital resources within 100 years. Suddenly the Third World was being told
that growth wasn't the solution to poverty after all -- forget all that
stuff about development policy. What's the answer? Well, ah, those well-
placed one-worlders will be sure to let the rest of us know when they think
of one. Judging from the 1980s, however, it's a safe bet that they've ruled
out a more equitable distribution of their wealth.
